• Council enthusiastically backs effort to boost injured officer's retirement benefit (homenewshere.com) — Woburn's City Council has unanimously backed Mayor Michael Concannon's plan to boost injured police officer Robert DeNapoli's retirement benefit to match 100 percent of his current disability pay, plus retroactive increases once the state approves a Home Rule petition. The move follows his 2011 shooting while confronting armed robbers at Four Corners and reflects strong council support for first responders hurt on duty.
• Nathan Kirokwa (uml.edu) — A Woburn-raised UMass Lowell student, Nathan Kirokwa, is turning his early love of math and biology into hands-on biomedical and nuclear engineering work aimed at improving healthcare diagnostics. From leading biosensing projects at a startup to research on better forensic kits, his path shows how a Woburn upbringing can lead to cutting-edge, service-focused science careers.
• LG Energy Solution, indiGOtech Sign 46-Series Battery MoU (theevreport.com) — Woburn-based EV startup indiGOtech has signed a memorandum of understanding with LG Energy Solution to secure advanced cylindrical batteries for its upcoming commercial vans from 2027 to 2030. The deal could help grow high-tech jobs tied to indiGOtech's Woburn headquarters while supporting more efficient electric fleets across North American cities.
